Hooks you like a fish!

The stories are so good you will spend entirely too much money on finishing a book. If you have the money to continue buying coins go for it! I spent over $100 finishing a book. Was I stupid? Yes! Do I regret it? About half & half! The book/story was awesome but I spent entirely too much money! Good Luck, everyone!

Coin system is dumb

I liked the stories but the coin system is too expensive. It should not cost that much to read one book.

Excellent read

I really like the stories I have read so far and it’s easy to get rewards to read and much cheaper than other apps

Right time wrong brother

Loving the book.. really wish you could read more than a chapter or two with the rewards

Requires payment to read

I really was enjoying this story that I was reading, but I downloaded the app and have not been able to read a chapter since. You do not accumulate enough points daily to read a chapter even every few days. The only way to enjoy these stories is to purchase them. Very misleading. I’m only giving them two stars because the story is good.

Too expensive

Just find a similar book on Amazon…it will be a lot less expensive.

All books

All of the books I’ve read on here are great but it needs to cost less or have adds you can watch to unlock chapters.

They deleted a bunch of books

Beware - you invest times and coins into reading and then they delete those books… shady!!

Data Will Not Load

I really like the books on this app, but it crashed today and will not come back up.

Data load error

I have spent $90. First $40 and now $50, after the second purchase in less than a week, now the book I was invested on is not loading all I get is Data load error.

Unfinished books

I really enjoyed this app. There’s a lot of really good stories, however, lately there’s been a lot of interesting reads that the updates are paused and never finished.

Not Working!

I was loving this app- great stories. But recently purchased more coins and now none of the stories will open! Keep getting a “Network seems to be down” image. I have contacted support and getting no help! Really sad

Expensive

Parts of the previous page were showing up on the next page and for the cost this doesn’t seem right. Book I was reading was good but when I went back to the app couldn’t access it or get help

Scam

Don’t use this app it’ll allow you to purchase coins and then block your account so you can’t login ever! Then it’s advertising is a lie you won’t get the coin’s they say you will especially with a subscription, you’ll still end up purchasing more coins. Don’t do it!!

Best of a bad bunch

I have downloaded and deleted a few of these pay per chapter reading apps but this is the only one I keep coming back to.
Firstly because it has the books of Nicole Fox on here (even though the reproduction of some of them is very poor).
Secondly because it has the option of a 1 day, 7 day, 30 day reading pass which are not exorbitantly priced. Whilst you are using the reading pass all chapters are open and you can continue to accrue coins with daily check in. It all depends on how fast you read as to how economical this is , but it works for me and I find I spend less this way than buying the e-book from a well known e-book store.

Will continue to read on this app.

10 years of him

This preview MADE me download this app. No regrets yet. But costing a small fortune to read this story.

Disappointing

JoyLit has some great novels, but their rewards program is pathetic. No real way to claim extra coins like you can on other novel sites (through watching ads) and the number of coins you need to read a chapter is ridiculous. You don’t earn enough coins in one day to read even one chapter.

Subscriptions are a joke. $30 per month and it still isn’t enough to read a whole book. The only way to read on this site is to take out a paid membership. It cost more to read a book here than to buy a physical book. I’ll stick to my other novel sites.

Good books but Bad $$$ Scam

Don’t do it!!!!!
Started reading a book, thought by getting a membership I could finish the book easily. Nope!! You have to pay extra to get coins that allows you to read chapters.
You can get free coins daily but it’s like 10-15coins a day but to unlock a chapter it will cost around 100 coins. You can buy extra coins where you think oh that will be enough, nope!! $20 gets you around 1500 coins but they disappear super quickly when each chapter is around 8-9 pages and is roughly 100 coins when the total chapter count is over 150 chapters. Such a scam to make you pay around triple or more than you would for a physical book.

Chaste CEO

I’m really enjoying reading on this app. The story lines are really interesting and I love the characters. Great writing!

Good stories, but…

Honestly I really enjoyed the books on this app. I paid for 7 days of free reading, to see if I’d enjoy it, and I really did. I was going to pay for a subscription for a few ongoing books I really started enjoying once the subscription was up. However, all of the coins and tickets and reading streak that I’ve accumulated over the past week disappeared as soon as my 7 days was up. Gone. And I wasn’t even warned that everything was going to disappear. Over 500 coins. It feels like a scam, so I will be deleting and finding a different reading app to spend my money at. I urge writers to really consider where they post their novels.
